I Love Dr. Bruno
Dr. Bruno and his staff were amazing from the moment I booked my consultation. From the moment I met Dr. Bruno I felt at eaze and super comfortable. He is very intelligent, knowledgeable and honest.

Razor sharp knowledge only experience can bring
Fantastic experience - Dr. Bruno changed my life! I had Gynecomastia surgery and some loose skin removal last year. Before the surgery, he answered all of my questions with a razor sharp knowledge only experience can bring - and was extremely patient and helpful post-surgery during my recovery. The results are amazing, and Dr. Bruno worked with me for months afterward to mitigate scarring,...

A: Exparel is a long acting (72 hour) local anesthetic. It’s commonly used in tummy tucks as well as other plastic surgery procedures. I find that the results are inconsistent- which is why I don’t use it routinely with all tummy tucks. Meaning that some patients get very good pain relief with it and others get very little improvement. This is likely related to how each person’s body metabolizes the product. If you are very concerned about pain relief, it is something your surgeon should be able to add quite easily. The added cost is about $300-350. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
A: If you are concerned about double bubble or implant malposition, you can inquire about using an internal support device. I prefer Galaflex which is dissolvable and adds strength to the repair- it will be reabsorbed in 18 months and replaced with collagen. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
A: Progressive tension sutures are typically temporary and dissolve in a few months, therefore, should not be noticeable after surgery. Ask your surgeon if you are uncertain. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
A: You should wait about six months to allow the blood supply to normalize and allow yourself to recover. Some would attempt to perform all these procedures at once, however the risk of complications (namely a blood clot) is too high and the recovery is too difficult for most patients. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person for a more detailed exam and review of your medical history. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
A: There is no way to completely avoid bruising after liposuction, but there are ways to minimize it. Taking Arnica and bromelain before and after surgery can reduce the visible bruising. Also, the technique used does matter. After injection of the wetting solution or tumescent solution, the surgeon should wait at least 10-15 minutes before starting liposuction, as this allows the blood vessels to shrink and therefore less bruising. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
